Queen Takes Rook by Joely Sue BurkhartMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dealing With The Queens
This book is all about dealing with queens, both friendly and antagonistic. We start the book with Shara and her Blood still with Mayte at her nest. Taking on Mayte as a sib has increased both her power and her responsibilities. It has also given her access to different information than she had before, which is always useful!
In this book we see more of Ra and his hatred of women. We see how he twists and contaminates all he deals with in order to take control of as much as he can. He is violent and tortures in order to gain more power. Because Shara is a strong willed and powerful Aima queen she represents everything he hates so he tries to attack her almost compulsively.
We begin to see more about what Shara’s parents and the goddesses have in store for her in the future, especially as she takes on another patron goddess, Coatlicue, Mayte’s mother goddess. There is a pattern to her growing power, as she gains more Blood and sibs, she also has an opportunity to gain patronage from their goddesses.
This is definitely a plot book. Lots of defining moments occur in this book as you gain essential information about how the rest of the series is going to go. It increases excitement about what is going to happen next as the tension mounts.
